Brian and I turned out for this scheduled meeting but it would appear to have been cancelled, probably due to the weather forecast. As it happens it probably would have been a poor night as it was damp, and threatening light rain, but at home for example, despite how the rest of you may have fared I had only 5 minutes of rain at home in the afternoon. Anyway at least he got to see my best moth of the previous nights trapping at home in the form of Aphomia zelleri. Thursday night was too good to miss and among the 111 species were Cream Bordered Green-pea 6, and Water Ermine 4, with the ‘peas’ being present at every trap. Shore Wainscot recorded which was one of the less usual moths for home. My first Privet Hawk of the season also a Dingy Shears. All traps dominated by Dark Arches which outnumbered everything else. Micros included G. oppressana and Teleiodes vulgella.
